Here Are the Sears Stores That Are Closing

Sears Holdings released an ugly Christmas surprise this week, as it disclosed a dropoff in holiday sales and announced plans to shutter 100 to 120 stores. The company did not say which stores were closing, until now.

Here is the list from the company releasing locations for 79 of the planned store closures, which are a mix of Sears outlets and Kmarts. Sears said it will post updates as they become available. The company’s document doesn’t say when the stores will close for good.

Florida seems to be hardest-hit in this round of store closures, with 11 Sears and Kmart outlets to be shuttered. Michigan, Georgia and Ohio have six scheduled closures each. As one of our readers pointed out, none of the stores on the list are in Illinois, home to Sears corporate headquarters.
